My girlfriend and I were bored by all the obvious choices on the shelf the other night so we picked this one based on the poster... the movie grabs you from the dramatic opening and pulls you into this weird dark world of an asylum/kid's orphanage in the woods (something never made 100% clear, but oh well). flashbacks were spooky, the soundtrack pretty tight, and the claustrophobic scenes in the asylum itself were effective. bottom line: Famous actress is abducted by two misfits and made to star in their home movie about her secret childhood-- before she was famous. the two misfits are brothers with a strange relationship of their own. This movie is entertaining and certainly worth a viewing for those who like like art-house horror. we're sick of wolf creek and all the blood and guts... its a nice change to watch a horror movie that is more psychological and atmospheric than just a blood bath. granted, this movie isn't great, but it sure doesn't suck as much as everyone seems to think either! check it out!
